Is NZ the new France?

Just kidding.

Geez, I'm busy at work for another week and all hell breaks loose ... a second time.

I mean, 4+ years of regular posting, I look away for five mins, and wabaaaam

Oh well, I have a single, inescapable reason why NZ is better than the US. Its summer here Actually, I bet its still warmer in Southern California though

PS By the way, I had a quick look and there was some actually unpleasant unpleasantness there, so if this thread goes anywhere near it I'm gonna delete it.

PSS Sheep buggering jokes aren't unpleasantness Besides, that sheep on a motorbike with the farmer is clearly in Australia

If the entire board (*except me) said your country was a bunch of sheep ******* you probably would act is if somebody peed in your cheerios too.

What do you guys expect. Crap on a person's country and wonder why they are an *****.

You're right. If he was a kiwi he would have made his date walk.

And also there is nothing wrong with France. They opposed our illegal war from the start. They smelt the ***** bush dealt. We got own3d by France.

Actually the whole 'hate france' was started by uber masterbaitor Bill O because its a bully tactic to smear opposition to the GOD like policies of the US.

In reality France has nudity on TV and the beach not mention Aleeza. Something the Jesus freaks can't handle in the US. They also are liberal with booze and the drinking age. Go on vaction 45 days per year and have more sex than us puritan offspring do. Thus France intellectually has being owning our sorry butts for a long time now. And will for decades to come. All we can do is call them silly names while working overtime for no pay, while they are on vaction getting their weeners polished, smoking pot and speaking 3 or 4 languages.

Red,

The only thing I will disagree with your above posting is that we speak 3-4 languages, maybe in Scandanavia, but not France. Want to go to Antibes?

I didn't think there was much (if anything) said about NZ that made me angry. I mean, we are kinda irrelevant (in the nicest way), and I don't know that I'd consider Christchurch all that memorable in the world scheme of things (although someone's 90% probability of going to CHCH if one goes to the South Island is correct).

And I'm very fond of sheep, in a sissy sort of way

The interpersonal nastiness was craphouse though.

LOL! No, I think he just runs a home-delivery service for lazy Kiwis, Cam!

Naw, really.... I like sheep too. Little ones! Just medium-roasted with a nice gravy and some roast potatoes...

Kiwis are always appreciated 'round these parts, friend.



For the (OVERWHELMING majority) on these boards, few probably remember or were even aware of the key part they played in the Italian campaign (a la Monte Casino) against the Fallshirmjagers in WW2. My hat goes off to you.

Cam welcome back! Even though you are usually wrong....you typically offer an intellectual and well thought out argument (often with real facts). You are indeed a formidable foe...but always reasonable enough that we think we can somehow convince you that you were simply misled/misinformed on the topic of the day. Funny how you can fight the liberal fight without resorting to personal attacks or a constant barrage of "I hate the US" while others with similar politics cannot. Perhaps you are a closet conservative....LOL. I hope you didn't take the NZ thread too personally....it was intended to show 952 how other folks feel when he bashes them or their country. We would all love to be there this time of year.
Is NZ the new France?...Don't insult yourself.

I'm sure they only smell they could process was the stench of their own corruption. We all know now that they were bought off by Saddam... You can't use "moral reasons" to cover up corruption.

I'm sure france was just trying to sit it out until they knew who they were going to surrender to.

Calling the pot kettle again...Without US support, Saddam would have never been the dictator of Iraq. Gimme a break with your moral reasons, and go stuff yourself with turkey.



Happy Thanksgiving !

You tell him! Forget being a student of history and US foreign policy. That's too much time & effort. People should just rent a Michael Moore film and they'll instantly be educated on all the facts

Cam --
I was concerned about you, not showing up on that other thread and all. Glad to hear you're back.

The strange bit is that Americans are expected to take limitless ***** from fools from all corners, lunatic or "mainstream" validated. We give others ***** and we're bullies. Waaah.

Thanks for having a sense of humor about it, but don't be so hard on yourself. NZ will always be waaaaay cooler and a much better friend to the US than France.

Ha! Thanks guys.

My biggest concern is that someone might think that 952 and I were/are the same.... the timing was uncanny. (This next comment will piss someone out there off)...

... I can assure you that I couldn't even PRETEND to be from Christchurch, no matter with what intention! They stole "our" (Auckland's) rugby prize (hard to explain, but think about an antipodean superbowl) and we want it back.

I cannot imagine why anyone would try to start this up again. Cam has always handled himself quite well in this forum...and usually gives as good as he gets...or better. I imagine that he is big enough of a man to realize that some here are sick and tired of how folks trash the US expect a pass, but take it quite personal when someone posts something negative reagarding their country. Do you think this post you made was any more outrageous than what others posted here:

You yanks are a bunch of bullies hiding behind a little grey internet chat screen. Call me a sheep farker to my face and I will pluck out your eye ball and .... you know the rest.

I've been on this once great chat board for too long. I'm outta here.

Once again...it seems that it is easier for some to dish out the insults than to take them. Looks to me like the yanks are not the only ones hiding behind a computer screen. If you side with a fellow who condones a mass murder like Bin Laden and publicly claims to want to help with financing his terrorist enterprises...don't be surprised if folks don't appreciate the sentiment. The sheep jokes are actually quite mild in comparison. Why anyone would post such rubbish on a bbs largely composed of Americans is beyond me.
